LITTLE LAPP BABIES HE TOOK TO RIDE ON A LARGE REINDEER" 134 Our Little Alaskan Cousin CHAPTER I KALITAN

However, our little Alaskan cousin was used to cold and trained to it, and would not dream of fussing over a little snow-storm.

He had come with his father to this far Alaskan clime in the happiest expectation of adventures with bears and Indians, always dear to the heart of a boy.

Soon all was prepared and supper cooking over the coals,a supper of fresh fish and seal fat, which Alaskans consider a great delicacy, and to which Mr. Strong added coffee and crackers from his stores,and Indians and whites ate together in friendliness and amity.

Alaskans never use salt for preserving meat.

" "They say, in one letter, that there are many Alaskans, as well as Outsiders, who have made these complaints.

But real Alaskans know that pity for the dogs of the North should be felt, not for the Racers, but for the poor work dogs who haul their burdens of lumber and machinery and all kinds of supplies out to the distant mines.

" "Congress is ignorant of a good many things concerning Alaska and the Alaskans," contemptuously.

Each day had brought word from the Outside that the Great Race was not forgotten by the Alaskans in sunnier lands; and because of this the excitement, as well as the purse, had grown apace.
